Next, the monarch and minister talked about the preparations of the Institute of Engineering, Agricultural College, History Museum and Bookstore, and then talked about the great victory in Henan and Hebei. Qin Shihuang said with emotion: "This victory depends entirely on my new pawn equipment and weapons. I promised to be named my grand tutor on the day of victory. I will not break my promise this time!"

Chen Xu stood up and bowed and thanked him, and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, the title of Grand Tutor is too honorable, and I am afraid I can't bear it. However, Mr. Fusu mentioned in March that he wanted me to be Ziying's teacher. However, I am not a famous scholar and wise man, so I may not be able to teach well, but I cannot refuse. Therefore, I hope that Your Majesty will change it and become a young teacher, so that I can teach Ziying in the future! "

Qin Shihuang frowned slightly, but after a moment, he nodded with a smile and said, "Since my dear refuses several times, then according to what I said, I will give you the Young Master this time, and I hope you will teach Ziying well!"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will devote all my efforts and do my best to teach Ziying so that my foundation in the Qin Dynasty can be passed on smoothly!" Chen Xu bowed.

"Then I will ask Ziying to my dear!" Qin Shihuang nodded slightly.

Chen Xu was confused about being Ziying's teacher after Fusu said it.

But because he was going back to Nanyang to marry, the matter was delayed. After returning to Xianyang, the incident broke out a few days later. Then Princess Qingning passed away, and the matter delayed for so many days. But now Princess Qingning has been buried, and the storm has gradually subsided. The matter of being a teacher for Ziying must be unable to be delayed.

Chen Xu did not think about rejecting the title of the Grand Tutor and asking for the title of the Young Master, but had been thinking for a long time. The Grand Tutor was the leader of the Three Dukes. With this title, his identity will inevitably be above the three Supreme Lords. This will make him more and more in opposition to the identities of Li Si and others. Moreover, there is no more titles in the future. How can Qin Shihuang be rewarded for making great contributions? Are you awarding the title of Taifu, Taibao, and the three Dukes in one, and then you will be awarded the title of King Side by One?

It is probably not far from being killed.

The status of Shao Shi is much worse. He was originally the teacher of the prince, but now the emperor has never established a queen, and Fusu is not the prince. In other words, it is impossible to have the title of Shao Shi at present. However, Qin Shihuang actually agreed, which will inevitably send a signal to the outside world that the emperor may intend to establish a prince. Although Chen Xu is Ziying's teacher, outsiders will not think so. He must think that the emperor intends to establish Fusu as the prince, because since the Great Zhou Dynasty, there has been no precedent for princes to directly pass the throne to grandsons. Moreover, there is an ancient ritual that the legitimate one is not established but the elder is not established, and the younger one is not established. This signal is very obvious.

Therefore, if a title of young master is written, I am afraid that many officials who advocate Confucianism will write letters to request the title of crown prince, otherwise Chen Xu, the young master, would be injustice.

But Chen Xu was actually just a test of this matter. After all, Qin Shihuang did not appoint a crown prince until his death, which led to Li Si and Zhao Gao forgery of imprisonment to support Hu Hai to the throne, and civil and military officials did not dare to refute it.

Unexpectedly, the emperor agreed.

So Chen Xu felt a little excited and uneasy, not knowing what this emperor of the ages was planning.

"Your Majesty, I wonder when General Li Xin and Jiang Hu will return to the court?" Chen Xu changed the topic in order to calm his emotions.

"The decree has been issued for seven days, but the journey is long and some prisoners have to be escorted. I think it should not be back in mid-May!"

"Your Majesty, this great victory over the Huns is a victory that has never been seen in the Central Plains in the past. According to the records of the Heavenly Book, I have created a kind of divine thunder and fireworks, and I want to set it off on the night of the victorious soldiers returning to the court to celebrate!"

"Divine thunder and fireworks? What?" As soon as he heard that it was recorded by the Heavenly Book, Qin Shihuang became interested in it instantly.

"The Divine Thunder Fireworks were developed according to the recipe of Taiyi Divine Thunder, also known as fireworks. They were launched at a height of dozens of feet in the dark. The sky was filled with colorful flames and were extremely beautiful. This fireworks were for celebration. I think this victory is worth setting off fireworks to celebrate. In this way, it shows the people of the world the great talents and great achievements, and also shows the heavens the confidence and courage of your Majesty as an emperor on earth..."

"Okay, okay!" Before Chen Xu's flattery was finished, Qin Shihuang stood up excitedly and held Chen Xu's hand and said excitedly: "You are really my loyalty. Please ask you to take care of this matter. General Li Xin and other soldiers on a triumphant night, I will summon all civil and military officials and concubines, princesses to watch the divine thunder fireworks together!"

"Don't worry, your Majesty, I will naturally not let Your Majesty down. Time is tight, so I will go back to the Academy of Sciences to develop fireworks..."

"I'm not busy leaving, I have something to do!" Qin Shihuang held Chen Xu and refused to let go.

"Uh, please let Your Majesty say it clearly?" Chen Xu was uneasy. The emperor seemed a little chattering today, and hesitating. It was different from the emperor's usual decisive style. He didn't know what he was going to say.

Qin Shihuang sighed slightly and said, "I don't know anything. Since I asked Qingning to marry in the court that day, Shiman has been suffering from tea and food all day long. In recent days, she has been lying in bed and has not been injected with medicine. The imperial physician said that he was worried and worried about it and became sick. I... I am afraid that I will lose another daughter!"

"Ah?" Qin Shihuang's words scared Chen Xu. He had never expected Ying Shiman's condition to be so serious, so he quickly bowed and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, can I visit the fifth princess?"

The fifth princess is the gentlest and kindest girl he met after traveling to the Qin Dynasty. She is not as beautiful as Shui Qingsou, but she is well-educated, well-behaved and gentle. If Shui Qingsou is a clear spring that makes him feel his soul clear and peaceful, then the fifth princess is like a hot tea in the cold winter, always making people want to hold it in his hands to get close to her. Shui Qingsou is a green bamboo on the top of the mountain, independent of the world, both independent and understanding, and is really as independent, strong and gentle as water. If Shui Qingsou is really Taoist fairy spirit, then the fifth princess is definitely the most beautiful flower among mortals, rich and beautiful, and definitely belongs to a rare woman on earth.

If this woman died because of herself, Chen Xu would definitely feel guilty for the rest of his life.

"Why are you doing this? You don't want to marry Shiman, and I have never forced you. You shouldn't bother her. I'm afraid that she will be even more sad!" Qin Shihuang shook his head.

Chen Xu said helplessly: "Your Majesty, I originally agreed to marry Princess Huayu, but... But Princess Qingning happened, and I was also in chaos at that time..."

"I am also very sorry for Qingning's affairs. Qingning has no fate and has no luck in getting married to her beloved, but this matter has passed after all. Today, I talk about this matter because my beloved promised to marry Shiman, which led to Shiman's illness. I never expected that this situation would happen. As the emperor, I could not find a satisfactory husband for my daughter. This matter made me ashamed and worried. Let's go and prepare the divine thunder and fireworks..." Qin Shihuang waved his hand with a sad face.

"Your Majesty, if I ask to marry Princess Huayu now, I wonder if it complies with the regulations?" Chen Xu hesitated for a moment and gritted his teeth and asked.

"This...of course...is...yes!" Qin Shihuang twisted his beard and pondered for a moment, but then shook his head and said, "Your dear, you don't need to be like this. Shiman's situation is very bad now. I am afraid that she will have a risk of death. If this happens again, I will feel even more guilty. Let's wait a few days before talking about this. If Shiman can recover slowly, I hope you will marry Shiman without losing the preface. I will also become a matchmaker and marry the daughter of the Meng Du Fu family. But if Shiman dies, this matter will be abandoned. You are useless to feel that this has not happened!"

"Your Majesty, I also have some understanding of medical skills, so I still ask to visit the fifth princess!" Chen Xu didn't know whether Qin Shihuang was seducing him or Ying Shiman was really seriously ill, but no matter what the situation was, he needed to visit and see the situation.

"Well, come here, take the Marquis of Qinghe to Huayu Palace!" Qin Shihuang sighed with a long sigh with a look of grace, waved his hand and ordered several palace servants and eunuchs to escort Chen Xu to the inner palace.

Since the last time that Zhao Zhe colluded with eunuchs in the palace, the palace underwent an unprecedented purge. All eunuchs, eunuchs, eunuchs, and palace ladies who had communicated with Zhao Zhe were arrested and interrogated. They were expelled from the palace without any problem. Those who were implicated were sold as slaves, and those who were closely connected were all sent to Mount Li to build a tomb. They would never come out alive in this life. Chen Xu was unknown and did not go to inquire about the number of people who had been cleaned up. At least the people in the palace who had passed by were almost no longer recognized. Moreover, the number of imperial guards guarding everywhere in the palace had increased a lot, and patrol teams could be seen everywhere.

Chen Xu walked along the way, both the palace maids and the patrolling imperial eunuchs stopped to salute, and then looked at the back of the young marquis, either strangely, horror or hotly.

In Huayu Palace, in the luxuriously decorated bedroom, a girl leaned against the bamboo pillow at the head of the bed.

Although it was a hot summer day, the doors and windows of the room were closed tightly. The girl was covered with a quilt, her cheeks were thin and pale, her lips were chapped, and her big, lively and beautiful eyes looked much more sunken now. Her face looked sad and almost dull.

The girl was holding a book in her hand, and the cover was written with a few square words in a collection of regular script. The fonts were graceful and clean, and it was obvious that she was written with great care.

"Princess, you'd better drink some porridge. You haven't eaten anything in three days!" A palace maid knelt beside the bed holding a bowl of porridge and cried and persuaded him.

The girl shook her head slightly and said in a voice that was almost completely inaudible: "I can't eat it, you all go out!"

"Princess~" several palace maids sobbed softly.

"Go out!" The girl's voice became much louder this time, and she also had a sense of sternness.

Several palace maids could only stand up crying and then exit the room together.

"Mr. Marquis, Shiman is afraid she won't be able to wait for you to marry me. On the day Sister Qingning got married, I heard that you sing a song for him. I don't know if Shiman died, would you be lucky to hear your singing. I finally finished writing this collection of regular script characters. I hope it will be useful to Marquis. Shiman... Shiman... I really want to listen to you telling those nice stories again..."

The girl's tears flowed down her thin and pale cheeks, and dripping onto the book in her hand. The words on the surface of the book soon moistened a few faint ink-tear marks.
